The Castle

Berat Castle is a historical monument where civilizations overlap and history finds tangible evidence from antiquity to the end of the Ottoman period. Its foundations date back to IV century BC, and archaeological traces can be found from the Illyrian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras. Within the castle, which has an area of almost 10 hectares and a perimeter of 1400 meters, there is a neighborhood of nearly 300 people, making this a rare castle that still has a heartbeat and life since ancient times.
